8 Letter home to parents explaining the interview and altar projects: Ms. Capitani s Language Arts Date Dear Parents, We are currently studying Day of the Dead in Language Arts. As a part of this unit, we will be completing 2 projects to be done AT HOME. The first project the students will be doing is a report about a loved one or family friend who has passed away. The students will need to interview a relative (parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles) and find the answers to all of the questions on the interview form. The interview form is due on. The second project the students will be doing is creating an altar, an important aspect of the celebration of Day of the Dead. The altar is a display of items/artifacts made to honor the memory of someone who has died. I am asking all the students to create an altar to honor the family member or friend they wrote about. Students should make an altar that is about the size of our desk top, 22 x 16 (or smaller) and the altar must be portable. We will display them in the library, and they cannot be too large. Altars should be brought to school. We will keep them on display for approximately one week. If you have any questions about the projects, please feel free to call or me. On the back you will find guidelines for the altar project. Thank you for your support Parents, please sign here and return tomorrow: I have read and understand the two projects my student will be completing. Requirements for the Day of the Dead altar: The altar the students are creating need to include the following items: -A picture(s) of the person. -A label with the person s name and years they lived. -The student s name and their relation to the person they are remembering. -Personal items of the person (this can include anything the person liked to do, eat, play, etc.). These can be pictures or reproductions. -The final project should be self-contained and easily moved. -Be creative!
9 Letter home to parents explaining the Day of the Dead party: Ms. Capitani s Language Arts Date Day of the Dead Party Parents and Students, As part of our unit on Day of the Dead we will have a party on November 1 to celebrate the people we remembered. We will have traditional foods associated with this celebration as well as other snack items. In this Mexican-Aztec tradition, the celebration is held on November 1 and 2, and family members and friends come together to share stories about their ancestors. Part of this celebration is preparing and eating foods that the deceased person enjoyed. If your student would like to, they may bring a small portion of a special food to share with the class. I ask that each student bring $3.00 to help cover the cost of the traditional foods that are being brought in. Please send the money by Thursday, November 1. Thank you so much for your support. We look forward to a wonderful celebration. Parents and family members are welcome to join us in this festive occasion. Please me to let me know if you will be joining us. If you have any questions, please or call me. -Jeanine Capitani

15 Name Date The Day of the Dead Summary Paragraph Directions: You need to use the information you highlighted in your packet to write a paragraph or two describing what the Day of the Dead is. You need to begin with an introduction explaining what you are writing about, and include good details. Remember to use your own words and to express how you feel about this tradition. At the end you need to explain who you chose to remember for El Día de los Muertos and why you chose that person. When you finish, you need to edit it with a partner in the room. Once it is as complete as you can make it, you will need to put it at the beginning of your memory book.
16 Name Date The Day of the Dead Reflective Paragraph We did a lot during our Day of the Dead project, and I would like you to take a moment to reflect back on what we did. I would like your opinion on what you liked, what you wished could have been different, and something you wish we had done. We did many things: -altar -interview at home -writing project -colored skeletons -masks -marigold flowers -we read the informational packet Your first paragraph should give your overall opinion on the project itself. Then I would like you to discuss each of the things we did. Did you like them or not; would you change them? A paragraph has 4-6 sentences, so if you reach that and still have more to say, you need to begin a NEW paragraph. At the end, you need a closing sentence, where you re-state your opinion on the whole project.
